Cocaine Blues Merle Haggard

[Verse 1]
Early one morning while makin' my rounds
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down
Went right home and I went to bed
I stuck that lovin' forty-four beneath my head

[Verse 2]
Woke up next morning and I grabbed that gun
Took a shot of cocaine and away I run
Made a good run, but I run too slow
The overtook me down in Juarez, Mexico

[Verse 3]
Laid in a hot joint smokin' a deal
In walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill
He said, "Willy Lee, your name is not Jack Brown
You're the dirty hack that shot your woman down"

[Verse 4]
Yes oh yes, my name is Willy Lee
If you got a warrant, just read it to me
I shot her down because she made me sore
I thought I was her daddy, but she had five more

[Verse 5]
When I was arrested, I was dressed in black
They put me on a train and took me back
Had no friend for to go my bail
They slapped my dried-up carcass in that Kern County Jail
